Events

Come for the dogs, stay for the lemonade

Adoption days every weekend, a pop-up clinic most months, and a couple of loud fundraisers a year. Everything below is free to attend unless we say otherwise.

Pens and a shade tent set up for the autumn adoption festival

Next big one

Fall Fur Fest on West 38th

Saturday, 10am–3pm · 3320 W 38th Ave · Free

Our biggest adoption day of the year: a dozen fosters, a nail-trim table, a very competitive costume parade and enough volunteers that nobody waits in line. Bring the whole household, including the resident dog, and we will handle introductions on neutral ground.

Host us

Got a patio, a lobby or a classroom?

Businesses, apartment buildings and schools host our pop-up tables all year. We bring the pens, the paperwork and two very photogenic dogs; you bring the foot traffic and somewhere to plug in a kettle.

What we need from a host

About twenty feet of shade or floor, access to water, and two hours either side for setup. That is genuinely the whole list.
